Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund will host its annual Regs Rock Lacrosse Day for Heroes fundraising event at Manhasset High School at 200 Memorial Place in Manhasset on Saturday, April 9. The one-day event, which attracts more than 2,000 spectators, features the always anticipated match up between two of the country’s best high school lacrosse teams: the Manhasset Indians and the Chaminade Flyers varsity and junior varsity teams.
Each year, Regs Rock honors the life of Manhasset hero Sergeant James J. Regan (Chaminade Class of ’98), who was killed in action in February 2007 while serving with the 75th Ranger Regiment. This year, Sergeant First Class (retired) Cory Remsburg, who was severely wounded in 2009 and has made heroic strides with his recovery and rehabilitation, will be in attendance for this special day. Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund has supported SFC Remsburg since sustaining his life-altering injuries in 2009. Longing to regain his independence, Lead The Way Fund presented Remsburg with the keys to a completely modified Americans with Disabilities (ADA) accessible home for him in March 2015.
All proceeds from the day will support active duty and wounded elite Special Operations U.S. Army Rangers and their families. Suggested donation to Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund is $10 for adults 18 and over.
